SUMMARY:Toronto Pig Save weekly vigil for the Pigs
DESCRIPTION:Don’t turn away. Please join us to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the thousands of baby pigs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at Fearman’s slaughterhouses. \nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided.\n——————————- \nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending. \n☮️ Keeping Save Movement vigils peaceful. \n1) The purpose of Save Movement vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. Disruptions can take place at a different time. \n2) Truck Drivers:\nThough we don’t respect what they are doing for a living\, let’s respect the drivers for giving us this time to show the world the plight of farmed animals. \n3) Slaughterhouse Workers:\nSome workers may try to taunt (though rarely anymore). Offer a wave or peace sign instead of a negative reaction. Break the cycle of violence. \n????‍ Keep Arms out of the truck: \nWe’ve experienced a few serious injuries from vigil attendees putting hands/arms into the truck. Please avoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons: \n1) The truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it.  \n2) Pigs are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some pigs will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.  \n3) Fear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n❤️????❤️ Thank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you.

SUMMARY:AR Chats at Wishbone
DESCRIPTION:Let’s return Toronto and other cities in Ontario to the thriving\, prolific animal activism centres they once were. \nJoin with other like-minded and like-hearted people to chat\, brainstorm\, and strategize about standing up for the animals! \nAfter each session\, attendees are encouraged to participate in a street action to put your new skills and energy into practice (this is totally voluntary\, no pressure). And sometimes homework will be assigned and due for discussion at the next scheduled meeting.\nSome attend one week but can’t come to the next one…attend when you can. We will be alternating Saturdays and Sundays. \nWhether you’re a seasoned advocate or someone new to the scene\, this is a judgment-free\, no-pressure environment that welcomes every idea and supports every comfort level. \nBecause each person is uniquely wired and different tactics resonate with different people\, there’s no one foolproof form of activism…it can be effective\, without being complicated or elaborate. And it doesn’t have to restrict itself to traditional methods like street marches with loud chants or holding up graphic imagery on a street corner (although both of these can be quite impactful…and often feel really good!). Instead\, standing up for animals can take on a variety of unique forms — almost as varied as the individuals taking part and the members of the public receiving the message. Every small action contributes to creating a world that respects and protects animals. \nAs the McKnight Building (600 Bay) is a heritage building boasting one of the last attendant-operated elevators in the city of Toronto\, the building is often not accessible on weekends. Our apologies in advance for this inconvenience. \nWishbone Animal Rights Lab…where vegan is the default\, NOT the option.

SUMMARY:Calling All Vegans Live Taping
DESCRIPTION:We’re back\, Jack! A much more descriptive write-up to follow\, but we are THRILLED to be welcoming Canadian filmmaker Jeremy LaLonde\, Montreal artist and activist Jenny Donovan\, and vegan vet and runner Ryan Flint. \nFYI: The building in which we record is nearing its 100th birthday and boasts one of the last addresses in the city which requires an operator attendant. Often on weekends\, the elevator rests\, meaning guests to Wishbone Animal Rights Lab need to take the stairs to the 3rd floor.

SUMMARY:Powerful Post-NARD Demonstration for Wildlife & Wildlife Rehabbers
DESCRIPTION:We hope you can join us immediately following the National Animal Rights Day demonstration and march as we gather outside a prominent building in Downtown Toronto (exact location will be shared privately to those who mark themselves as “Going”) to make a powerful statement to our Provincial Government and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNRF) which will bring attention to the true cost and real consequence of the MNRF’s unofficial yet effective campaign against our Wildlife Rehabbers … the suffering and death of innocent wildlife that should have been given a chance. \nFor the details of this powerful demonstration\, please message us\, as the details will not be made public beforehand.\nEvery single day\, there are dozens of cries for help from caring and compassionate citizens who want to find help for a wild animal in distress. But we’ve got no solutions to offer them any longer. Our Rescue Centres are full. Our Fosters have all they can handle. The MNRF is showing up to the homes of people trying to help\, and demanding they surrender the wildlife to them … undoubtedly for euthanization. \nOntario has fewer than 25% of the Wildlife Rehabbers they had 20 years ago before this campaign against them began. The MNRF has not been issuing new ‘licenses’ for years. There are capable and caring people who have taken the Internationally accepted courses and submitted applications to the MNRF only to have their applications ignored. What’s going on here?! With only 46 Rescue Centres remaining\, we are in a critical state for our wildlife. Enough is enough! \nThe harassment of our Wildlife Rehabbers must stop! The MNRF must step up to perform their mandated duties as Regulators of our Rehabbers! And\, if they can’t step up … then step down! \nThe agency and civil servants that support and participate in hunting\, trapping\, penned dog hunting\, and unnecessary live-animal research CANNOT also be regulating the Wildlife Rehabbing community that has dedicated their lives to saving these same animals. \nNOTE: Please check the Facebook event page for further details.

SUMMARY:AR Chats at Wishbone
DESCRIPTION:This is a special meeting. We are meeting early to get ready for an action at the Christian music festival at Nathan’s Philip Square. If you have or can create appropriate signs please bring along. (Contact Colleen for more info) \nLet’s return Toronto and other cities in Ontario to the thriving\, prolific animal activism centres they once were. \nJoin with other like-minded and like-hearted people to chat\, brainstorm\, and strategize about standing up for the animals! \nAfter each session\, attendees are encouraged to participate in a street action to put your new skills and energy into practice (this is totally voluntary\, no pressure). And sometimes homework will be assigned and due for discussion at the next scheduled meeting. \nSome attend one week but can’t come to the next one…attend when you can. We will be alternating Saturdays and Sundays. \nWhether you’re a seasoned advocate or someone new to the scene\, this is a judgment-free\, no-pressure environment that welcomes every idea and supports every comfort level. \nBecause each person is uniquely wired and different tactics resonate with different people\, there’s no one foolproof form of activism…it can be effective\, without being complicated or elaborate. And it doesn’t have to restrict itself to traditional methods like street marches with loud chants or holding up graphic imagery on a street corner (although both of these can be quite impactful…and often feel really good!). Instead\, standing up for animals can take on a variety of unique forms — almost as varied as the individuals taking part and the members of the public receiving the message. Every small action contributes to creating a world that respects and protects animals. \nAs the McKnight Building (600 Bay) is a heritage building boasting one of the last attendant-operated elevators in the city of Toronto\, the building is often not accessible on weekends. Our apologies in advance for this inconvenience. \nWishbone Animal Rights Lab…where vegan is the default\, NOT the option. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Mercy For Animals x Animal Justice Burnbrae Brunch Fest Takeover
DESCRIPTION:Burnbrae Farms Brunch Festival Protest! \nWelcome to a great chance for activists to help push Burnbrae Farms—Canada’s largest egg company—to stop caging hens. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with Animal Justice\, which recently released undercover footage exposing suffering birds in battery and enriched cages in Canada. \nWe have some exciting new tactics for the demonstration to get Burnbrae’s attention while at Toronto’s Official Brunch Fest on the Grounds at Hotel X in Toronto\, Canada. \nPlease join Mercy For Animals and Animal Justice as we target Burnbrae Farms for their failure to improve hen welfare. Day after day\, hundreds of thousands of hens in Burnbrae’s operations suffer\, trapped in cramped wire cages—without room to walk freely or comfortably spread their wings. \nBurnbrae Farms claims to value animal welfare and transparency. Yet the company is still investing in cage confinement for birds and failing to disclose the number of hens cruelly kept in cages in its operations. Chickens can no longer wait for change. \nPolls are clear—most Canadians find cages unacceptable. In response\, over 130 companies in Canada have committed to banning cages in their supply chains. However\, the Canadian egg industry continues to invest in the extreme confinement of hens. \nWe will meet at 1 PM outside on the corner of 111 Princes’ Blvd.\, Toronto\, ON M6K 3C3. The corner of Lake Shore Blvd. and Newfoundland Dr. \nSigns\, leaflets\, and props will be provided\, so just bring yourself and a friend! \nJoin Mercy For Animals and Animal Justice online\, too. Take action here: :\nMercy For Animals: https://cagefree.ca/burnbrae-harms/\nAnimal Justice: www.burnbraetruth.ca \n“By attending this and other Mercy For Animals events\, you agree to our Volunteer Terms (https://mercyforanimals.org/volunteer-terms/) and Volunteer Handbook (https://file-cdn.mercyforanimals.org/…/MFA-Volunteer…).” \nPlease message me if you have any questions! \nNote: Please check Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Toronto Pig Save weekly vigil for the Pigs
DESCRIPTION:Don’t turn away. Please join us to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the thousands of baby pigs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at Fearman’s slaughterhouses. \nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided.\n——————————- \nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending. \n☮️ Keeping Save Movement vigils peaceful. \n1) The purpose of Save Movement vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. Disruptions can take place at a different time. \n2) Truck Drivers:\nThough we don’t respect what they are doing for a living\, let’s respect the drivers for giving us this time to show the world the plight of farmed animals. \n3) Slaughterhouse Workers:\nSome workers may try to taunt (though rarely anymore). Offer a wave or peace sign instead of a negative reaction. Break the cycle of violence. \n????‍ Keep Arms out of the truck: \nWe’ve experienced a few serious injuries from vigil attendees putting hands/arms into the truck. Please avoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons: \n1) The truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it.  \n2) Pigs are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some pigs will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.  \n3) Fear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n❤️????❤️ Thank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you.

SUMMARY:The Art of Kindness: Celebrating Vegan Creative Juice (featuring John Sakars)
DESCRIPTION:We have been bursting to share the news that Wishbone Animal Rights Lab will be holding its first-ever vegan art exhibit\, number one in a series of monthly rotating shows. And who better to take this inaugural step with us than the kind\, humble\, genuine\, and talented John Sakars! \nBoth whimsical and profound at the same time\, John’s art is not only eye-candy and eye-catching\, but it will touch your heart deeply and give you food for thought. \nAt least 50 of his pieces will be on display at The Lab from June 29th through the entire month of July. Originals and prints are available for sale\, and John has graciously and generously offered for this event to double as a fundraiser for Wishbone. \nPlease join us at this reception to kick off the show\, meet the artist himself\, and to celebrate John’s wonderful works. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to take home your very own “John Sakars”! \nPlant-based food and beverages available. \nFYI: Wishbone Animal Rights Lab is located within a heritage building that houses one of Toronto’s last remaining attendant-operated elevators. However\, outside of regular weekday office hours\, booking the lift requires an hourly fee to be paid. For attendees needing such assistance to the 3rd floor during this event\, we will be providing this service within a designated timeframe. Further details to be provided shortly. \nThe Lab is a volunteer-run\, largely self-funded initiative. Donations allow us to host more community-building events\, develop more programming\, conduct more workshops\, create more content\, purchase more equipment and literature\, and cover our monthly hard costs. wishbonearlab.ca/donate or e-transfer to wishbonearlab@gmail.com \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.
